How to Apply Static Cling WINDOW Film

How to apply static cling window film - Static cling window film is very easy to use to glass windows,
doorways, or even to other smooth surfaces including lightweight aluminum,
metal, fiberglass, and plastic material. Usually, if the room that needs
covering is small, it is straightforward for one person to take care of. If, nevertheless,
you are planning on covering a greater expanse of window you may have to enlist
the help of someone different as it can be a little difficult to do by
yourself.

The first step is to organize all the materials you will
want to put up the film. You are going to desire a putty cutting knife that you
simply will use to smooth the film onto the window; a number of spray baby
bottles with water; razor cutlery, and kitchen lint-free shower towels. In one
of the spray bottles, place about half a teaspoon of dish detergent as you will
use this to clean the window.

Determine the area you want to pay and then carefully cut
the film to size, remembering to leave about half an inch extra on each side to
aid you in your inserting the film on the window.

Clean the home window very, perfectly using the detergent
and water blend and the lint-free kitchen towels. This task is very important,
make sure that you get all smears and dirt and dust off the windows and then
dry it to be sure there are no smears left on it.

Once you are sure your window is clean, lightly spray a fine
mist of hot water on the window from the second spray bottle. You should not
soak the window, just lightly spray it.

The next phase is to peel the backing off of the window film.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to grab the film on a single corner and
peel it down. This is where it is helpful to have someone letting you as they
can hold the film in place while you take off the support. If you are expecting
to re-use the film at some point remember to maintain the backing that you lift
off, you'll need it if you need to keep your film.

Line up the very best border of the window film with the top
of the window, leaving that fifty percent inch hanging over at the most notable
and gently soft the film onto the window. You are just getting the film in
place on the window now, so there is need to push down too much on the film
just with enough concentration to get it to stick to the window.

Once you have the film in place, and you are happy with the
location, pick up the putty knife. Today you are going to work the film all
over to secure it set up. Start at the top, tilt the putty blade to a forty
five degree angle and run it carefully over the top area of the window
protecting it down.

Next, using the putty knife, go straight down the midst of
the film and secure all this way down vertically. When that is done take it
from the top middle, but still using the putty knife, clean it out first to the
right from the middle and then over to the left starting at the middle. Does
that all the way down the film till you get to the bottom? Whenever you have
smoothed it out from the central to either side start back at the top and work
on your path all the way down to the bottom with straight strokes this time.

Chances are you should have the static cling window film firmly in place. Now, still using the
putty knife, work out any bubbles stuck under the film to the edges.

Finally, once all of that is completed, dry off the film
with the paper kitchen towels. It takes a few days for it to really stick, so
be careful with it for the first week.

The advantage of this type of film is that it is even much
easier to pull off than put on, which means it is just a very simple process.
If you want to consider it off the window just get a corner of the film and
peel it again down diagonally across the window. The film can even be re-used
at a later date, if you will need to store it by putting the original backing
paper back on.
